Who took in a movie this weekend? Did any of you see The Secret Life of Pets? Peyton and I saw it last week and loved it! The basic story line behind The Secret Life of Pets is this - Max's owner decides to adopt another dog, Duke. Max is not fond of Duke and he sets out on a mission to get rid of Duke. But Duke figures it out and he decides to try and get rid of Max! While they are busy trying to get rid of one another they end up losing their collars and on the run from the dog ...

Finding Dory
Finally! Finding Dory is here. After all those years of waiting and wishing for a movie just about Dory, it's arrived. Peyton and I took in Finding Dory a few days before opening night and we were knocked off our feet impressed with how spectacular it is! Rarely, can a sequel stand on it's own or surpass the original. Finding Dory does just that. Be sure to get to the theater early so you don't miss the opening. There is the most adorable baby seagull story you will not want to miss. Here's ...
Captain America: Civil War
Over the past year, Peyton has become interested in super heroes. It all started with Spider-Man, then quickly grew to include Iron Man, Captain America and the Hulk. Last month I took Peyton to see Marvel Universe Live and that's when she fell in love with Black Widow, a female super hero who could kick some major butt. We ended up purchasing our first Black Widow doll that night and Peyton has not stopped talking about Black Widow since. When Peyton saw the trailer for Captian America: ...
Marvel Universe Live!
Peyton has been enthralled with superheroes for some time now. When I saw that Marvel Universe Live! was coming to the Twin Cities I just knew I had to get tickets for us. When I first went online and priced out the event I nearly had a heart attack! But then I remember a site I like to use for entertainment events. Goldstar, it's like Groupon for entertainment and shows. So I kept my eye on Goldstar and hoped they would have tickets to Marvel Universe Live! And sure enough they did! I was able ...
It’s a Peppa Pig Extravaganza!
Living in the United States makes it hard to find much with Peppa Pig and her family on it. Though I will say over the past year I have started to see more of it. Peyton has been in love with Peppa, George and all her friends for years. We've watched every single episode more than once and I can even recite a few them from memory. But beyond the television and few stray toys here and there that has pretty much been it. Until.....Peppa Pig Live! Peppa Pig's Big Splash decided to tour the US. Oh ...
